My major problem is that, I am involved now in a project.
One of the results of that project is to develop or to buy an e-learning
solution good for blind people.
One of the companies that want to ofer us something like this, has made a
strange adaptation.
In their program you must use some key shortcuts to operate the program
instead of using as usual tab + shift tab to navigate, or arrows.
I asked them what standard they used for knowing how to adapt their
software.
I am a software developer too, used to develop accessible software and
when
I develop my software, I use the section 508 from U.S.A. legislation.
But that company argue that this is U.S.A. legislation and not european
legislation so they can do how they want the adaptation.
To have an image how bad they work, for working with jaws, they put on
their
application form, an text box.
In that textbox they put every information from the application,
programmaticaly select it and diselect it, to make jaws announce it.
And I want to show them that is incorect.
But if I don't show them something where is written that is not correct
what
they do...
Thank you.
